I feel the 7.3 has been milked for all it's worth. I think it's awesome!

 

I would say if your looking for big power for your big "assed" truck in your sig then you might have to take the 7.3 out. But I would assume you could get some good HP out of that 7.3 if you took the money that you would spend on the swap on the 73.

That said I wouldn't use the mexican 6.7L, I would do the Cummins but that's personal preference.
Would like to hear more on the process and how it turns out, good luck!

 

Yea, there's more to do to the current motor, but dang, it gets crazy at that point. We all know where it's gonna go. Twin HPOPs, twin turbos probably, big fuel, built trans.
It's all new with a 6.7.

 

Thanks guys, yes ive been told to rebuild the 7.3 but ive have nothing but issues in the past with the 7.3 and ive worked out a deal buy a complete rolling chassis turn key for my swap and i feel and been advised by the guys a maryland diesel that aftermarket turbo and tunes with a few other mods would make the 6.7 a beast and im doing dash, cluster EVERYTHING!!!!

 

Yes i agree aswell but theres 500whp 6.7's on tune intake and exhaust alone lol, i mean honestly ive been talking to maryland diesel and they say i should go for it and with bigger turbo, intake chip, exhaust and delete ill have a fast truck on my hands!!! **** i did all that to my 7.3 and a stock 6.7 will still be faster lol!!!

 

jez 6.7 is weak on the bottom end and on fuel delevery. You'll shoot your eye out.

 

Awesome idea, go for it. Cant wait to hear how well everything works together

 

Thanks sir im pretty excited and trying to figure out a date rite now and shop has told me 40 days complete swap turn key!!!!!

 

Will be interesting to see and I can't wait to see the results!

 

Huge project! Interesting idea, Subbing for results.

 

lets just say that you get this done and it runs and the dash is changed out...my question to you is....is there anything LEFT that is still factory from 02 besides the frame???? lol

 

i think its a great idea.. read up on the reliability problems of the 6.7 and just have all that replaced/fixed at time of install and youu'll have an invincible truck... what are you doing for a transmission? 5R110 or the new 6R140 from the 2011+ trucks?

 

If I was gonna do a swap like this, I would have went with a 6.4 vs a 6.7. The after market for the 6.4 is huge but the 6.7, not so much. I don't think it's gonna happen in 40 days either. Just my :twocents:.

 

I gotta see this please keep us posted thumbs up if you make it happen

It would be cool and you can have a completely deleted 6.7 that would meet the emissions of the 02 .

 

This would be awesome to have a deleted late model engine that would be compliant to the highest epa bull***. Take that thing to Commyfornia and all you would need is a CAT in place for the 02 truck. I will be watching this build...

 

Can't wait to see how this works, those 6.7's seem like strong engines. I've driven one, it flat out hauled *** for a stock 1 ton truck.

I'll keep my 7.3 though, mostly b/c I like it...and I don't have money to do something like this...

 

Well you certainly have the truck for it. I think it's an awesome idea. Keep us posted.

 

yeah guys thanks for all the feedback and i dont see why it wouldnt be done in 40 days or so considering both trucks will be side by side cab-less and i will be keeping 2011 tranny!!! I will be doing a bigger turbo, bolt on mods and already have the 4inch straight pipe, firewall must be cut to fit motor but nothing major.. And also i have a full 07 harley interior swap now stock 02 problem went out the window over a year ago lol, i think itll be a sick swap and will be something others will try pretty soon!!! I have faith in the guys from maryland diesel and 6.7's with issues addressed are badass motors, 7.3, 6.0, 6.4 all have their own issues so its whatever i guess, i start a build thread as soon as we get the ball rolling so stay tunes ;-)

 

That's the problem with 6.7's. No after market turbos available yet. Tuning, exhaust and intake available at best. No doubt it will be awesome if it can be pulled off, but like I said before, I would have went the 6.4 route.:thumb:

 

Big question is will you be getting the best part of the new one.




The front end lol

Are you gonna tear the motor down?

 

I will not be building a race motor just putting in a new motor and not sure what turbo the guys over at maryland diesel are talking about but they are changing the turbo which is a known 6.7 problem, ill leave it in their hands cus they know what theyre doing!! And ill be staying with my 08-10 front end for now!!!!!

 

Yea , keep the 08-10 front end . To me the best looking front end ever in my opinion .

 

Yea I take back what I said about the new front end I went back and looked at your truck man that is a nice ride

Thanks guys yeah im pretty stoked about this so look out for this truck in the near future!!!

 

i require pics.



but why not just go get a new truck?

its like making a turd more shiney than it really is.




but good luck with the swap!

 

Good question, i have an 02 with over 40k already invested into it so who will pay me what id ask,,, nobody lol!!! Im spending way under 10k for this swap all said and done and will be the talk of the town when done and im all about standing out!!!! I dont cut corners with anything i do and will do the same this time around, i come from a carshow background and have one of the best known hondas in the world and you can google my name to verify!!! Kenny Vinces is the name just so you guys see the type of work i do and ive been building sema/ cover cars for over 10yrs so this project seems pretty simple in my eyes!!!

 

Calling BS on this. No way its happening.

I'll say it.......... Neener Neener... Don't you look silly, Mr. Hater-aid. :haha:

 

Under 10k for the whole swap? I doubt you can even get a motor for under 10k.
